    The best way to introduce these drill to the athletes is to corner everyone up, then use two assistants or higher level players to quickly demonstrate each drill. Coaches should provide the measurement of success for each drill (eg. 'We are looking for above the antenna passes' or 'We are looking for your highest number of continuous contacts').
